Matthew Faucher is a British actor and musician. He is known for his role in the feature film The Three Kings (2018), which earned him Best Supporting Actor at the African Film Awards, and for appearing in the British Independent Film Awards–shortlisted short A Fox in the Night (2022).[1][2]
Career
Film
Faucher portrayed Stephan King in the feature The Three Kings (2018), which earned him Best Supporting Actor (UK Nollywood) at the African Film Awards. Both the finalists and winners were reported by the newspaper African Voice.[3][1]
He appeared in Sacha Polak’s Dirty God (2019), which premiered at Sundance Film Festival; independent cast listings confirm his role.[4][5][6]
In 2022, Faucher played Theo in the short film A Fox in the Night, directed by Keeran Anwar Blessie, which was shortlisted for Best British Short at the British Independent Film Awards.[2] The film is listed in the British Council Films & Festivals database, which names Faucher among the principal cast.[7] It premiered at **BFI Flare 2022**.[8] *Eye For Film* wrote that lead Keeran Anwar Blessie’s performance is “supported by that of Matthew Faucher as Theo.”[9]
Stage
Faucher appeared in Hairy, a Spymonkey production at Polka Theatre (2019; revived 2023). The Stage review remarked: “New recruit, the slightly dopey Hairnry (**Matthew Faucher**) arrives at the Hair Control Centre with big dreams…”[10] *LouReviews* said, “The quartet of performers … gelled together well … including **Matthew Faucher**.”[11] *Everything Theatre* described the character *Hairnry* (played by Faucher) arriving with “big dreams.”[12]
In the world premiere of Agathe at The Playground Theatre (2024), later staged at Stanley Arts, critics highlighted Faucher’s performances. *British Theatre Guide* wrote, “the actor **Matthew Faucher** steps centre-stage playing the character of a radio announcer… In friendly poetic language, he quickly promotes cruel right-wing propaganda.” *Salterton Arts Review* noted, “The scenes where Faucher doubles as an announcer on radio station RTLM were also very effective.” *Breaking the Fourth Wall* commented that his announcer segments “give a flavour of what the rhetoric was like at the time.”[13][14][15]
- Casting announcements for *Agathe*** confirm Faucher’s casting and note his prior screen work in *Dirty God*.[16]
